The company has launched an AI Voice Assistant for the Insta360 GO Ultra, transforming the palm-sized wearable camera into something closer to a pair of AI smart glasses without requiring you to wear anything on your face. Built using Google Gemini, the new assistant can translate conversations in real time, answer spoken questions and analyse whatever the camera is pointing towards. The assistant can identify objects, interpret unfamiliar text and provide additional cultural or historical context.

The AI Voice Assistant began rolling out through the Insta360 app on 7 August 2026.
